Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Vance’s position is that even if they’re doing things by the book, they’re nonetheless here illegitimately. Period.

It's all about skin color, not immigration status.

The fake immigration crisis is just an excuse for genocide. The long term plan to make all immigrants and Latino people illegal.

The important bits

“This family entered legally and followed the process the government asked them to,” Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, told me. “They were here lawfully until the administration stripped away their status. Hundreds of thousands who entered with official permission are being smeared as illegal aliens and threatened with deportation.”

What VP Vance said is what we call "a lie". From his self professed religion, "Thou shalt not bear false witness".

Also from his claimed religion: Satan is the father of lies.

Which side are you on, JD?

Bro of you go through the accepted checklist of what makes someone the antichrist trump fits like every single one to a t.

News would be JD Vance not making something worse.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

At this point I'd be shocked if he was able to act like a human for five minutes.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Surprise, "JD" "Vance" is a completely immoral asshole.

He’s never going to admit they are wrong and put a stop to it. Rather hear them say they hate immigrants, full stop. At least that is truthful. But doubt that will happen.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

If they blew the whistle any louder we would all be deaf.
